Here's a couple shots of my new Shigefusa cleaver.
I ordered this ages ago, basically to replace my Takeda.
This one seems to suit me much better, so far I'm very happy with this purchase.
As luck would have it, it was delivered to Maksim's at the very day we arrived for the gathering in Denmark.
Good timing I'd say.

Thanks mate
